What is the meaning of the name Micaella ?

The baby name Micaella is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced mee-KAH-el-uh or mih-KAH-el-uh (IPA: /miːkəˈɛlə/ or /mɪkəˈɛlə/).

Micaella is Hebrew in Origin.

Micaella is a modern elaboration of Michaela/Micaela, the feminine form of Michael. All trace back to the Hebrew Mikha'el, a theophoric question meaning "Who is like God?" - a rhetorical expression of humility before the divine. The -ella ending and double l reflect contemporary Romance- and English-language style trends influenced by names such as Gabriella and Isabella, giving the classic root a softer, ornate look.

As a given name, the feminine forms of Michael have been recorded since medieval Europe, especially in Germanic and Slavic lands (Michaela), Italy and Iberia (Micaela), and later in France and the English-speaking world (Michelle, Michaela). Micaella appears chiefly in modern records from English-speaking countries, Latin America, and the Philippines. Close variants include Michaela, Micaela, Mikaela, Michaella, Mikaella, Michela, Mihaela, and Michelle; short forms include Mica, Ela/Ella, and Mika. The name carries the enduring archangelic association of St. Michael.
